I bought these specifically for a tropical vacation and they were an absolute lifesaver. The fabric is extremely thin and airy, which was exactly what I needed for the humidity. I love how the side panels overlap so you do not feel totally exposed, but as you walk they open up beautifully to catch the breeze. I paired them with a simple tank top and some layered jewelry, and I got compliments every single time I wore them. Wash them on delicate and hang to dry, they kept their shape and color perfectly!
